What our Brand Identity client partners are saying...
"This past year was our 25th Anniversary, and we needed a whole slew of specifically-designed marketing materials to celebrate. We're so impressed with the results. They're brilliant materials and we're very proud of them. Nearly ever day for a couple of weeks now I get feedback from funders and donors who effusively compliment the report with many exclamation marks!"—Advancement Director at Dogwood Alliance

Frequently Asked Questions
About Brand Identity

What is brand identity development?

Brand identity development is the process of figuring out how a brand looks and feels based on its values, mission and personality.

It involves stakeholder input—community members, staff, and leaders—and includes visual elements like the logo, color palette, typography, imagery, and overall style. Together, these pieces make the brand look consistent and easy to recognize everywhere it’s used.

Why is brand identity important?

A strong brand identity makes you stand out from others, makes it easy for people to recognize you, and builds trust. It shows what you stand for, what you’re trying to do, and how you’re going about that in a way that connects with your community.

What are the key components of a brand identity?

  • Logo: The visual representation of your brand
  • Color Palette: The specific colors used to represent your brand
  • Typography: The fonts and styles used in your brand communications
  • Imagery & Graphics: The style of images and graphics that complement your brand
  • Brand Voice and Messaging: The language and tone used in your communications
  • Brand Guidelines: The document that codifies and ensures consistency across all brand collateral

How does brand identity design differ from brand strategy?

Brand identity design is the visual and creative expression of a broader brand strategy: it’s establishing how your brand looks. While brand strategy defines what your brand’s values, target audience, and market position are, brand identity design translates those elements into a visual language using elements like logos, color schemes, and typography.
